    If God has free-will, then he's less likely to be attached to any single religion

    Yeah I did ask it a few questions for the first time a month or two ago, and it was kind of a weird thing for me, so I put it down for a while, and only asked a couple things since. Kinda startling, but I don't really know if it's real intelligence or what. Is it more than a search engine, that...

    If God has free-will, then he's less likely to be attached to any single religion

    That's fine , and maybe my premise is flawed. Really what I want to do, is kind of search out for the connections between human theological activity. And I guess I don't expect it to make the easiest of sense. I sense that this thread is generally unpalatable. I'll re-frame a different variation...

    Let's finally hash it out -- what religious liberties are Americans lacking?

    That's really unfortunate if that happens But as far as free speech goes, and to try to tie it back to the thread topic, various religious liberties, some of which probably inevitably influence the greater culture.. I just think it does come back to the individual's will to be polite. Without...

    Let's finally hash it out -- what religious liberties are Americans lacking?

    Oh I don't believe it either.. I'm just trying to be more of a concise writer, so I don't qualify everything.. I also am skeptical that the kings impart divine qualities in their offspring, if it is the case that some of them believed that

    Let's finally hash it out -- what religious liberties are Americans lacking?

    I think I traced my genealogy back one time through some possible ancestors, and it eventually went back to a viking leader who I guess may have had a lot of offspring. I heard that genghis khan might have a lot as well. I haven't thought a lot about this, but in ancient times when this kind of...

    Has the eugenics movement really ended?

    and that's basically genetic engineering , or is that something different.. I thought they were getting to where they can actually go in with a computer and edit stuff around

    Let's finally hash it out -- what religious liberties are Americans lacking?

    think what you want. I think that if you suppress speech, then people just get worse in private. Plus plenty of social media platforms, for example, add layers of regulation themselves, which I think is fine. Where things start to get debatable is where views meet action, which is what I think...

    Has the eugenics movement really ended?

    I can't really see , how everyone can't see, a very large wall of selection pressure existing, without anyone trying, just by comparing how life is lived in modern times, compared to any time in the past. So many rapid changes, and that is all selection pressure I think.

    Abortion

    I don't know what the status of one's ability to express opinions on abortion is currently, now that roe v wade was overturned But I can tell you that I am pro birth-control, and I think the world population should go down to about a half billion to a billion. All it would take is for people to...

    Let's finally hash it out -- what religious liberties are Americans lacking?

    I think being polite to other people is nice, but if the powers limit speech enough, you can't criticize the government. Watch the latest Mehdi Hasan interview with Victor Gao, see what you think of that

    If God has free-will, then he's less likely to be attached to any single religion

    The universe is spinning away , and we humans are the animals who imprint little marks on time, and build a little bit of stuff from the matter we find there. That bit of time, we demarcate as Thursday , and from that piece of wood, someone makes an out-of-tune cello. The universe is the pizza...

    If God has free-will, then he's less likely to be attached to any single religion

    I think skepticism is justified , regarding how it happens. Many people in history became hermits , or became somewhat isolated, because the ways of people didn't inspire them. I'm kind of like that, but I don't really try to be. People with their group-thought usually present flaws, but it...

    Let's debate "UBI"

    I would still need to be convinced about the 1:1 job ratio problem, where jobs that are automated are replaced in equal measure by new jobs It is not entirely obvious what the causes of stagnation are exactly. I've known too many people that work 2 jobs, and never read books. Without typical...

    If God has free-will, then he's less likely to be attached to any single religion

    It's a lot for the human mind to understand , and people really don't like the idea, but I think we have to remember that we are dealing with a being that involves itself in vast creations. As long, I think, as they are individually self-consistent creations, is possibly what matters. You...

    Trump-Vance anti-Haitian Hate Speech

    I don't believe the rhetoric about eating pets without evidence, and I wouldn't be surprised if many of them are nice, hardworking people. That said, I have social and economic questions about people immigrating to this country. I don't think it's a win for leftism, if that's your side...

    If God has free-will, then he's less likely to be attached to any single religion

    because perhaps God can create truths that look to humans as being contradictory.. But I don't think this means that the followers of the religions should show skepticism. If multiple paths are present, it gives motion to the human world, and causes people to wonder farther than they would...

    Monotheism is not economically, or socially viable

    I said all those places may have done it. I didn't disinclude ancient Israel. They may not have done it all in the same way as each other, but it seems like something that would have universally affected the economy across the whole ancient world. Unless there was a spot it didn't happen

    Let's finally hash it out -- what religious liberties are Americans lacking?

    Liberty is a pretty squirrely word, and it's probably best if we kind of accept that it is like that. I think there should be more national discussion on what the word actually means, in our modern context. For example, I didn't watch the presidential debate, but if I was the moderator, I would...

    If God has free-will, then he's less likely to be attached to any single religion

    If God has free-will, then the religions of the world are more like "thoughts" that he has, than religions in the way we think of them. Behind any of the religions, there would still be a non-determined conscious entity. Granted, god probably has created religions that are designed for people to...
